DocQScribe wasn't a good platform for me, so I left. nm

DocQscribe platform
Does anyone know of any companies that use the DocQScribe platform?
DocQscribe platform?
Is there a way to find a list of companies that use DocQScribe platforms?
They had a job ad for MTs...they use DocQScribe platform...
nm
?? DocQScribe is a platform....sm
Is that the name of the company?
DocQScribe is a much better editing platform than
Dictatphone EXSpeech, which Transtech uses. You will never make the lines you can make editing on DQS. I don't know if you do editing with the Q or not, but you cannot beat DQS, IMHO. EXSpeech has a lot to be desired. You will also not be able to make the lines you do on DQS, nor is it easy to keep up with your lines.
Also, I must say that we have to do a manual timesheet and email it. No automated timesheet. Don't know if that matters to you or not.
Also DocQscribe is the best platform I've ever used.

Bayscribe platform (MDI-MD) versus DocQscribe? sm
Can anyone tell me if the Bayscribe platform is slower than DocQscribe, and if so, a lot slower? If you have not worked on DocQScribe before, then could you tell me if you feel it is as fast as other platforms you have used? Thank you!
Precyse has their own proprietary platform, modeled after DocQScribe. nm

Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

ExSpeech
I tried ExSpeech and after 3 months still could not make my lines. Went back to transcribing and I'm able to make just over my lines daily. This line subject was discussed here extensively in the past. TT said they were installing a new line counting progam but that still has not happened and with Jesse gone, I doubt it will for a long time.
ExSpeech doing it, reckon?
Yes, here too.
I know they are getting hot and heavy into VR. Was not aware that it would be this soon when I hired on with them. My account is already going that direction. Is a little scary! Knew that it was a huge account, but never thought VR would replace me so soon.
ExSpeech gets **turned up** and getting better jobs
Also, QA and Transcription Manager can do the same skipping as the MT's can. I think TM is an MT, also, so she could be transcribing some during high volume times.
Extext nor Exspeech is as MT friendly as DQS
Editing on DQS is much more profitable and MT friendly than ExSpeech, too. IMHO
Is Dictaphone ExSpeech same as EditScript?
If so, since I have ExText already on my computer, will they have to dowload their version and do you know if it will interefere with my software I am already working on. I know I should be asking the company this, but just curious.  Also, which is the best ExSpeech or EditScript. They say I will make 5 cpl for editing. I have never done editing before. Been transcribing 30 plus years. Though I would try ASR to break the monotomy and hopefully get out this slump I'm in. 
ExSpeech and EditScript are 2 different platforms -- sm
but both are owned by Dictaphone as they bought Escription. Who is offering 5 cpl for editing on EditScript? Most companies are only offering 4.
Anyone worked on both eScription and ExSpeech?
I would like to know if one platform is better than the other. I appreciate your input.
Yes ExSpeech from Extext and also Escription

Except for the good platform, the
rest of it sounds just like Transcend. 
What is a good platform? sm
Have you found a better platform that is fast and good for line count?
not a good platform - sm
I found it to be very slow and it took too much time to set up each dictation. Not time efficient at all!!!! You have to fill on all the info yourself, no prefilled headers.
good platform
The platform they use is one of the best out there, IMO after doing meditech, chartscribe, you name it. The pay is so-so as they do a tiered rate. Pay is on time. They used to be flexible on the hours you worked. Full time is 12,500 lines a pay period of half a month.
Just avoid any accounts that Lisa is manager of if you can. Or at least just stay a transcriptionist, do not get sucked into helping on other stuff or then you really get screwed on pay.
Lisa is controlling and plays nasty games with people working under her.
Platform bad but pay is good
I'm making more than ever before in my life on my hassle-ridden platform, so I'll deal with it. The way they made our pay fair for their admitted hassles is they take dictated minutes and multiply those by 13 lines to come up with our line counts. So every dictator with sloppy habits (long pauses, changes their mind constantly, wants to spell the nobrainers, etc.) which would be a money waster on any other account, actually makes me money because I'm getting 13 lines per dictated minute no matter what the dictation consists of. Maybe you can ask if they can implement something similar for your bad platform, to compensate for admittedly wasted time on it, and more people would be willing to work it.
Pay will drop significantly with Dictaphone EXSpeech 1/2 per line, or something to that tune. nm

Wow, that does sound like a good platform...
Maybe I should apply with your company. I need an efficient platform with hot keys and easy access. That sounds great!
Is Bytescribe a good platform. nm
:
Escription is good platform sm
The sound quality is good (on my computer anyway compared to some other platforms I've tried!), the platform is quick between screens, allows you to check past reports and dictator's past reports. I found the later especially helpful when I had challenging dictators saying the same things and could not quite figure it out. When I checked their past reports of the same kind - wallah! -- there it was in print.
Escription can be really good (with good dictators) and a big stinker with poor dictators. I suspect that is the same everywhere. I would jump at the chance to only have about 40% VR.
Good luck to you and God bless.
Platform is user friendly. P ay is good. sm
The accounts are good for experienced MTs.
I can't say I produce more on this particular platform, but it is MT friendly. I average approximately 300 lines an hour. That is not my best, as I have done 400 lines an hour on a different platform. It all depends on the dictators.
Good luck to you. If you need flexibility, a decent line rate and don't mind being SE without benefits - go for it.
I prefer SE or IC status, so it suits me just fine.
MDI-FL - is the internet platform/MS word a good
platform. I understand they have about 4 different platforms. I would be interested in the proprietary internet platform that uses MS Word. Is it user friendly and productive, can you see your line counts immediately, what type of short cut Expander is used, and the type of voice player to download jobs?
Thanks
very easy to learn - good platform
I have worked on a few different platforms and this one works well. Very explicit account specifics as well so it makes it much easier to do your job.
Anyone use the Merit platform with MW? Good, bad, average? nm

I'm curious from your perspective, who has a good platform and why? sm
I see you posting regularly and I'm curious what you think Wbmdx could and should incorporate to make Enterprise better. Thanks.
Opinions on Oracle? Good pay? Platform? THX
Is the platform good? Word-based? Is the new
position still recruiting? Just passed the written and doing the transcription next..
I love the platform and make good $ on it. SM
I do believe it has to do with the accounts though. I've used it for 4 hospitals and have made great money, both VR and straight typing. VR gives me more than double the lines of typing but I do think it is an acquired skill. Learn the shortcuts and use them. It is also only as good as the team training the VR.
On the other hand I've used it on a clinic account and the lines were just not coming in like they do in AC. A very heavy, 90%, ESL verbatim account and I lasted all of 2 weeks on that account.
I'd say I do about 90% VR and 10% straight typing and all in all I'm impressed with the accuracy of the VR.
Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.

Medware, good platform, plenty of work
I have worked for them almost 3 years now, they are a better than average company and pay on time every other Friday. Check them out, you will be happy you did. Kim.
Good MT hard to find & 1 familiar with platform is

ProScript platform - good line count?
Just wondering for those out there with ProScript, are you getting a good line count with their platform?
I am not afraid of VR, as I learned it many years ago on a very good platform, but they did not cut
my line rate, but instead paid me for my knowledge in the medical field. By the way, I made very good money back then, too. Cannot allow my skills to be sold at one-half my current line rate. I have more pride in myself and confidence in myself than to be paid that cut-rate by any MTSO out there.
I work on a great platform, have good QA support and make
a lot more than 8 cpl. I even have GREAT benefits, which are more than affordable. There are good companies out there that pays for experience!!!!
Anybody have any info on Medict Systems out of Florida - Good/Bad, platform, pay etc.
nm
Pay is good, platform very easy. Got line count within days. (sm)
The people you work with/for are extremely helpful. There is an incentive plan which they will explain to you during interview process. No 401 match - that is a bummer. First year PTO only a few days, but picks up the next year.
Apply and have the recruiter go over it all with you. It is well worth the time.
Good luck.
been with spheris 4.5 years, easy platform, good clinic account

TS has very outdated platform, and it's very hard to get a good daily line count. NMout

Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
I finally found a home.

Well...then you have probably missed out on some of the best job opportunities with small MTSOs. I would beware of the large Nationals...they are the ones who offshore. I don't, won't, and only hire US MTs. I also pay my MTs much more than the average Nationals and we don't run out of work either!! Sorry you missed the opportunity of a lifetime not responding to ads posted with yahoo e-mails. Your loss.
Alex-Med, anybody edit for them? (sm)
 I was interested to know how they are to work for, pay on time, steady work flow, sound quality, that kind of thing. Any insight is appreciated.
